Position Summary

As a Tele-Psychometrist, you will play a central role in direct patient care by administering and scoring comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological test batteries via video tele-health platforms.

• Engage Patients & Capture Observations: Build quick rapport with pediatric clients over video, manage attention and fatigue during sessions, and document precise behavioral observations regarding effort, affect, and testing validity.
• Provide Tech & Caregiver Guidance: Orient families to the virtual testing setup (webcams, audio, digital interfaces) and troubleshoot basic connectivity or software issues smoothly.
• Collaborate Interdisciplinarily: Partner closely with supervising neuropsychologists on battery selection, testing modifications, and timely report compliance.

What Makes You, You

• Assessment Expertise: Direct experience administering and scoring core standardized instruments (WISC‑V, WIAT‑IV, K‑TEA 3, NEPSY II, D‑KEFS, etc.).
• Telehealth Savvy: Proficient in navigating EMRs, HIPAA‑compliant video platforms, and digital assessment software.
• Detail & Data Focused: Exceptional accuracy in scoring, psychometric data entry, and documentation.
• Engaging Remote Communicator: Warm, empathetic style with the ability to maintain focus and rapport with children through a screen.

The Basics You’ll Need

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a closely related field required (Master’s degree preferred).
• Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of direct experience administering and scoring standardized neuropsychological tests.
• Credentials: Certified Specialist in Psychometry (CSP) credential via the BCP is a strong plus, but not required.
• Workspace: Private, quiet, HIPAA‑compliant home office with a high‑speed, reliable internet connection.

Salary Range: $25 USD - $35 USD
